In the initial 125cc Pro mota it was crowd
favorite Cooper with the holeshot with fellow
F&S rider Davey Yezek right alongside heading
up to the spectator area. As the lead duo flew
past the scoring tower, Yezek put a nice move
on the inside of Cooper to grab the lead, while
Mike Treadwell ran third with Joshua Steel in
fourth. Cooper put on quite a show trying to
catch the smooth-riding Yezek, but the Mt.
Pleasant, Pennsylvania, native was too fast for
Cooper and motored on to the win. Behind
Cooper in third was Treadwell, with Steel in
fourth and Chuck Reed finishing fifth.
In between.motos a great splashing of liquid
sunshine graced the loamy track, leaving the circuit fairly greasy for moto two. Cooper saw the
slick track as an advantage as he nailed down
the second-moto start with team members
Treadwell and Jeromy Buehl in tow. Yezek had
an unfortunate start and would have to force his
way through the pack to eventually finish second, with Treadwell, Steel and Reed in that
order behind him. Even though traction was at a
minimum during the second mota, Cooper
refused to back off the throttle as he handily
cleared gnarly doubles that· most others were
not attempting. Cooper even managed to whip a
little "nac-nac" in for the adoring crowd at the
checkers. "Davey's tough to beat right now, but
I'm not bad in the mud," remarked an obviously
elated Cooper.
Cooper forgot tei bring a 250 to the Treaty
Oty track, but teammate Yezek picked up the
slack as he conquered both motos after fighting
off the advances of Steel, Buehl, Treadwell and
Reed in the 250cc Pro class.

Poccorobba pounces at MDA
Motocross/Auction
By Kyle Myers
REDDICK, FL, JULY 9
Over 220 riders attended the fourth annual race
for the Muscular Dystrophy Association held at
Motocross of Marion County where Anthony
Pocorobba copped top laurels in the 125cc A
class.
In the first 125cc Pro moto Pocorobba
grabbed the early lead with Brian Manley,
Anthony Paggop, Jason Dodds and John Fesler
giving chase. Manley quickly pressured
Pocorobba and moved by on the opening lap.
MeanwhiJe, Paggio fell and remounted last.
Pocorobba was glued to Manley's rear wheel for
the entire eight laps until Pocorobba slid out in a
comer. Manley held on for the moto win ahead
of Pocorobba. Paggio worked his way back
through the field to finish third, and Dodds and
Fesler rounded out the top five.
Paggio rocketed into the point position to
start moto two with Pocorobba, Manley, Dodds
and Fesler following. Paggio led for two laps,
before Pocorobba and Manley slipped by.
PocoIObba and Manley battled for the lead,
while Paggio fell but quickly remounted without losing a position. With three laps to go,
Manley made a costly bobble that would let the
Barnett/Bieffe/No-Limit/Velvetouch-backed
Pocorobba the win the moto and overall. Manley
finished in the runner-up spot with Paggio,
Dodds and Fesler rounding out the top five
places. Manley came back later and won the
250cc Pro division.
Pocorobba and Brian Manley were the Proclass winners, but the big winner on this day
was the MDA. With former 2S0cc Supercross,
250cc Outdoor National and two-time 500cc
National Champion David Bailey on hand to
sign autographs and the auctioning of official
autographed racewear from the pros, $4200 was
raised with all proceeds going to the MDA. Ashley Doucet was in attendance for the fourth year,
giving the checkered flag for one of the races. A
Mike Kiedrowski jersey sold for the most money
at $225.

Taylor Vanderpool was top gun in the 125ee
Novice c)ass, smoking to a double-moto sweep
of the class. Chris Honnold was Vanderpool's
closest rival and posted runner·up finishes in
both outings as he topped the "F1yin' Hawaiian"
Corina Chinen, Jeff Sterling and Nick Scott.
George Lamonte had an up-and-down day
in the 125cc Beginner class, literally. The first
moto saw Lamonte crash and burn three different times and still rebound for third behind
Justin Cass and Mike Wilson. In the second
moto, Lamonte appea.red to ride in a more
reserved and consistent fashion, and he was
rewarded with the moto and overall wins.
